Abstract

[eng] The International Situation at the End of 1979 : Low Growth and High Inflation? by Laurent VASSILLE As a whole, the international economic situation of France is far less favorable than at the beginning of 1979. Inflationary pressures seem to be long-lasting and the prospects for growth mediocre. Even if, in the United States electoral considerations have had the effect of relaxing government policies, a strong economic recovery seems highly unlikely. In other industrial countries, the increase in oil prices risks aggravating the gap between west Germany and Japan on the one hand and the United Kingdom and Italy on the other, as the former, unlike the latter, are not in danger of an inflationary price/salary spiral. In this context, the development of French export markets should slow down, even if West German growth is not threatened and if the demand within the OPEC countries should increase significantly. [spa] Medio ambiante internacional a fines del año 1979 ¿ Crecimiento flojo e inflaciôn fuerte? - En términos générales, el medio ambiente internacional francés se verificó menos propicio que a principios del año 1979 : al parecer, las tensiones inflacionistas parecen duraderas y las perspectivas de crecimiento moderadas. Incluso en los propios Estados Unidos, en los que consideraciones électorales temperan la política, parece ser que no se pueda confiar en una fuerte reactivación de la actividad. Respecto a los demás paises industriales, es factible que el acrecentamiento de gastos petroleros incremente el descarte entre Alemania y Japon por un lado, y el Reino Unido e Italia por el otro; los primeros, a la inversa de los segundos, no estan expuestos al riesgo de una espiral inflacionaria precios/salarios. En este contexto, el desarrollo de nuestros mercados exportadores deberia de ralentizarse, aun cuando el crecimiento de Alemania no parece ser objeto de un debate y si la demanda de los países del OPEP ha de incrementarse notablemente. [fre] Dans l'ensemble, l'environnement international de la France est beaucoup moins favorable qu'au début de l'année 1979 : les tensions inflationnistes y paraissent durables et les perspectives de croissance modérées. Même si aux États-Unis des considérations électorales assouplissent la politique publique, une forte reprise de l'activité semble exclue. Pour les autres pays industriels, le supplément de coût pétrolier risque d'accentuer le clivage entre l'Allemagne et le Japon d'un côté et le Royaume-Uni et l'Italie de l'autre : les premiers, à l'inverse des seconds, ne risquant pas une spirale inflationniste prix/salaires. Dans ce contexte, le développement de nos marchés d'exportation devrait se ralentir même si la croissance allemande ne paraît pas remise en cause et si la demande des pays de l'OPEP doit fortement s'accroître.
